Avoid chlorinated and fluoridated water. In your cleanse, try to use water that is free of impurities or chemicals added by water treatment facilities. An often overlooked but important quality is water's pH level (its acidity or alkalinity, on a scale that ranges from 0 to 14; "pH" stands for "potential of hydrogen")." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

If arsenic and chlorination by-products are present, you could treat your water with a combination of reverse osmosis and carbon filtration." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Man-made electronic and magnetic energy devices, and water treatment units, can definitely have a positive effect on some health problems by helping the body raise its General Vitality, or frequency vibrations. A body of lower gv and wl has the potential of rising to the level of that produced by the electronic or magnetic device. The downside is that, once the body has raised its vitality to the White Light potential of the device being used, it will be held at that level of energy output. In other words, the device can only help to improve vitality up to a certain level but no further." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Thus, they have used the ingredients obtained by boiling these substances down as a sort of medicinal hot water treatment for certain cancers. It is now known conclusively that the ingredients which exhibit the greatest antitumor effects are the result of the activity of various beta-glucans. Thus, materials for research studies were obtained by heating maitake and extracting its polysaccharides. Researchers obtained various fractions by continually refining down the elements in the fruiting body of maitake. The results of this research were first published in 1985." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The H20 water treatment system, for example, is very efficient and health-promoting, but it is also quite expensive. Its unique technology even removes pesticides and herbicides from the water and leaves your drinking, shower, and pool water as fresh and clean as pure mountain water. The H20 Concept 2000 uses electrical impulses to break calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate, salts that are the major causes of hard water, into calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, with the byproduct being carbon dioxide (C02). The C02 is dispelled at the faucet in minuscule amounts." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

More than fifty-five thousand regulated chemical dumps in America, in addition to the estimated two hundred thousand unregulated chemical dumps, are leaking into the water tables across the nation. When we ingest this contaminated water, the production of free radicals increases significantly." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

Even some municipalities in the § United States have replaced chlorination with ozonation, but the improvement is not nearly as widespread as it should be. * 0 DOCTOR'S NOTE: I personally use the ECOsmarte" system in my pool, which uses copper ions and ozone to purify the water.

Instead of doing this, the water district sent the clogged filters back up to the plant, where they were burned up in the ovens at night."

"Yet another good water treatment is Molecular Resonance Effect Technology (MRET)—a device that alters the molecular organizational state of water and other liquid substances. MRET water has many special properties that make it ideal to help the body to increase its quota of structured water. MRET-activated water closely resembles cellular water in the body and hence is bioavailable. MRET water is produced by a nonchemical biosafe process of water activation. During this process, a subtle, low-frequency electromagnetic field is imprinted into the water." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

Therefore, it has a strong mineral-depleting effect in the body. The organ most affected by alcohol is the liver. If a generally healthy person drinks two glasses of wine within one hour, the liver is not able to detoxify all the alcohol. Much of it is converted into fatty deposits and, eventually, gallstones in the liver." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"Since most municipal water treatment facilities were built in the early 1900s for the purpose of disinfecting water rather than purifying it, these water treatment facUities are not designed to deal with the new pollutants found in our water today. The federal government projects that it would take billions of dollars and ten to fifteen years to upgrade these systems. Small communities are often financially unable to upgrade theur water treatment facilities to improve water quality." - Debra Lynn Dadd, Nontoxic & Natural: how to avoid dangerous everyday products and buy or make safe ones (Get the book.)
